禅フォトギャラリーは、4月28日(木)から5月28日(土)まで田中長徳写真集『Today Tokyo』の刊行に合わせ展覧会を開催いたします。小学生の時に初めて一眼レフカメラを手にした田中長徳にとって、高度経済成長期に入りエポックメイキングな出来事が続く1960年代から1970年代の東京は格好の被写体でした。日常と非日常、光と影という相反する顔を持つ東京の街を田中は独自の視点で軽快に切り取っています。今回禅フォトギャラリーより刊行する写真集から選りすぐりの作品を約30点展示いたしますので、ぜひご高覧ください。
私が東京をテーマとして認識できるようになったのは、1964年の東京オリンピックの時だった。東京が初めて極東の敗戦国の首都ではなくて、極東の活発な都会として認識されたきっかけが1964年だった。その時私はニコンとライカを手にして東京の撮影を開始した。この写真集に収録されているのは私が撮影した半世紀の時間軸のごく初期の、つまり1960年代から70年代初めの写真からセレクトした。ー田中長徳

Zen Foto Gallery is pleased to present “Today Tokyo” from Thursday, April 28 to Saturday, May 28. This is Chotoku Tanaka’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, organized to celebrate the publication of the photobook under the same title, and this is the second book Zen Foto has published with Tanaka, after “Panoramic Photography — Europe 1975” in 2020. Tanaka, who received his first SLR camera when he was in elementary school, found Tokyo as a captivating subject to photograph around the 1960s and 1970s. It was exactly when a series of epoch-making events were happening in the city during the rapid economic growth in Japan. Since then, Tanaka continued to nimbly capture the streets of Tokyo with its contrast of light and shadow as well as ordinary and extraordinary life with his unique perspective. This exhibition features a selection of 30 photos from his early work included in the photobook.

“It wasn’t until the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 that I came to appreciate Tokyo as a theme. 1964 was the year when Tokyo was first recognized not as the capital of a defeated country, but as a dynamic city in the Far East. (…)
That was when I picked up my Nikon and Leica cameras and began taking photographs of Tokyo. The photographs in this book were selected from the very early part of my 50-year photographic career, taken in the 1960s and the early 1970s.” —Chotoku Tanaka
